Areas of Application

Sikasil SG-500 is ideal for structural glazing, bonding of solar

modules
and
other
highdemanding industrial applications.
This product is suitable for professional experienced users only.
Tests with actual substrates and
conditions have to be performed to
ensure adhesion and material
compatibility.

Cure Mechanism

Sikasil SG-500 starts to cure

immediately after mixing the two
components.
The speed of the reaction depends
mainly on the temperature, i.e. the
higher the temperature the faster
the curing process. Heating above
50 C is not advisable as it may
lead to bubble formation.
The mixer open time, i. e. the time
the material can remain in the
mixer without flushing or extrusion
of product is significantly shorter
than the snap time indicated
above. For more information contact the Technical Department of
Sika Industry.
Application Limits

Most Sikasil WS, FS, SG, IG, WT,

AS and other engineering silicone
sealants manufactured by Sika are
compatible with each other and

with SikaGlaze IG sealants. For

specific
information
regarding
compatibility
between
various

Sikasil and SikaGlaze products

contact the Technical Department
of Sika Industry. All other sealants
have to be approved by Sika before using them in combination

with Sikasil SG-500. Where two

or more different reactive sealants
are used, allow the first to cure
completely before applying the
next.

Sikasil SG, IG and WT sealants

and adhesives may only be used in
structural glazing or window bonding applications by experienced
professionals and after a detailed
examination and written approval
of the corresponding project details
by the Technical Department of
Sika Industry.
The compatibility of gaskets, backer rods, setting blocks and other
accessory
materials
with

Sikasil SG-500 must be tested in

advance.
The above information is offered
for general guidance only. Advice
on specific applications will be
given on request.

Method of Application
Surface preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and
free from oil, grease and dust.
Advice on specific applications and
surface pre-treatment methods is
available from the Technical Department of Sika Industry.

Further Information

Silicone Glazing with Sikasil

Adhesives

Application

Before processing Sikasil SG-500

both components have to be mixed
homogeneously and air-bubblefree in the correct ratio as indicated
with an accuracy of 10 %. Most
commercially available metering
and mixing equipment are suitable.
Contact the System Engineering of
Sika Industry for specific advice.

While the A-part of Sikasil SG-500

is stable in air, the B-part is moisture-sensitive and must only be
exposed briefly to air.
Joints must be properly dimensioned as changes are no longer
possible after construction. Basis
for calculation of the necessary
joint dimensions are the technical
values of the adhesive and the
adjacent building materials, the
exposure of the building elements,
their construction and size as well
as external loads. For more information contact the Technical Department of Sika Industry.

Tooling and finishing

Tooling and finishing must be
carried out within the snap time of
the adhesive. No tooling agents
must be used.
Removal

Uncured Sikasil SG-500 may be

removed from tools and equipment

with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. The static

mixer of the metering and mixing
equipment can be cleaned with

Sika Mixer Cleaner.

Hands and exposed skin should be

washed immediately using Sika

Handclean towels or a suitable
industrial hand cleaner and water.
Do not use solvents!
Overpainting

Sikasil SG-500 is an elastic adhesive and cannot be overpainted.
